Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is a Halloween Freebie. I’m keeping it simple and featuring books about witches — mostly books I’ve read, plus three from my TBR list that I’m really looking forward to.
- The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow — a 2020 favorite! (review)
- A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
- Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs — part of the ongoing Mercy Thompson series, but this one has some very bad witches in it! (review)
- The Ghost Tree by Christina Henry — despite the title, this book has much more to do with witches than ghosts. Loved it. (review)
- A Witch in Time by Constance Sayers — another 2020 favorite (review)
- The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare — not actual witches, but about witch hunts in the Colonial era. I think every kid who grew up in Connecticut (like me!) read this book at some point. (review)
- Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor (review)
- The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe
- Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian — new release coming in April 2021
- The Factory Witches of Lowell by C. S. Malerich — coming in November 2020, and I think it sounds amazing.
- The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson — haven’t read yet, but I intend to!
Yes, that actually makes eleven books. I realized I had an extra, but couldn’t decide which one to drop!
What are your favorite witchy books?
I’d love to hear about your Halloween topic, so please share your TTT link!

I’ve heard great things about Akata Witch.
My post.
I really enjoyed the audiobook, and the sequel as well.
Great list! The Factory Witches of Lowell, A Discovery of Witches and A Witch in Time are all on my TBR.
All great books! I’m really intrigued about the Factory Witches, can’t wait to get a copy.
Awesome list! I also did a witchy list and we have a little overlap, but you have some good ones here. I completely forgot about The Ghost Tree!
That was such a good book! I don’t think I’ll ever run out of witchy books to read. 🙂
Lots and lots of witches, enjoy. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/10/ttt-102720.html
Thanks! I never get tired of witch books! 🙂
Great list! I really want to read The Year fo the Witching, Akata Witch and A Discovery of Witches!
My post!
I’m really looking forward to The YEar of the Witching — I have a copy, but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. 🙂
Wow today I could not manage 5 witch books.
I just seem to have so many! 🙂
Once and Future Witches was so good!
It really was! I loved the writing, the characters, the mood…
I want to read her other books now!
Have you read The Ten Thousand Doors of January? I love it!
No I haven’t read it but I certainly will now!!
Wow–a friend of mine is going to be excited to see this list! Thanks
Awesome! A witch fan?
I’ve been looking forward to seeing which witchy reads you settled on! So many here that I love. I actually read The Witch of Blackbird Pond recently—such an interesting and unique book.
Isn’t it wonderful? I wonder if it’s still read in schools.
Hmm. I know it’s still pretty popular, but I’m not actually sure if it’s still assigned!
